I feel there's a special type of irony in criticizing a Lisp implementation for not being sufficiently type-safe.

(Or maybe it's just a generic irony ... I can't tell yet.)

Oh, I know. :) I mostly spoke up because of my own journey with Rust, and knowing how important articles like these could be to people new to the language. I totally understand why Stringifying errors is appealing in Rust but breaking the mental habit is harder than learning good habits straight away.
